Anyone know a way to get a stubborn hose/ olive out of a brake lever?
Fitted a new brakeset the other day (Shimano MT401) and stupidly ordered Euro orientation - Front is Left and Rear is Right.
When I worked in a bike shop we used to swap these pretty frequently on new bikes - disconnect hose from lever and connect it to the other.
Left lever (front brake hose) came out easily, with no fluid lost, but can't for the life of me get the rear hose out of the lever.
I'm riding with reveres brakes for now, but would rather switch these, and avoid problems down the line.
Side note: I could try and return them, but I have scratched up the calliper bodies and scraped the hoses a bit during fitting...

Setting up for a big tour I'm starting next year, and want to try out some bars with a bit of a sweep to replace my risers...
Been looking at Jones style, On-One OG, VO Seine etc - something Sweepy and ideally with a bit of rise also...
Ideally looking to loan some for a week or two to test positions before I commit, but if anyone has anything similar they'd let go for cheap I'd be very grateful!
Based in SE22 but can collect pretty much anywhere in London
Pic of current Setup for attention...

I've got one just like this in 135mm if you're interested?
Mine's scuffed up below the insertion point and obviously wouldn't want as much as the linked - let me know if this appeals

Cross-post from my components thread - hope that's ok.
Selling my OEX Phoxx 1 V2 1 person tent (One of these)
Great lightweight tent that's quick to pitch and stood up to wet weather, but unfortunately too cramped for me (6'1"/ 186cm tall) and bags. Will be upgrading to a 2 person..
Pics showing tent pitched and packed on bike (green bundle on the rear rack), but I can provide more pictures if needed.
Soldcollected in SE22 - Can probably meet along my commute to Camden -
